1. DIY Graduation Balloons with Photos

From Studio DIY

Fill your party space with helium balloons anchored with photos. I love this idea of giving a superlative to each graduate under their photo. I wonder what I would have been back in the day? I would have never guessed “Most likely to be a blogger”. They did not even exist in my day!

2. Graduation Photo Booth Props

If we know one thing about today’s youth, they love to get their picture taken. These photo booth props are sure to bring the fun and the pictures will be enjoyed for years to come. I love these designs, too!

14. Words to Live By Wall Art Idea

From A Lemon Squeezy Home

Every one needs some good advice and this DIY art for Word to Live By will help keep them wise. How great is the idea to have chicken wire and fun cards. You can gather the ideas ahead of time or your guests could write their word of advice when they arrive at the party.

16. Alma Mater Colors Party

This set up is just so fun. The attention to detail just blows my mind. Everything is in school colors, down to the candies that the pretzels are nestled in. Totally stealing that idea.
